HP Hires Ex-Nokia Exec, Spins Off WebOS, Reportedly Returning To Tablets

Posted by Unknown on from the on-second-thought dept.

judgecorp writes "Hewlett-Packard is returning to tablets with a new unit that aims to make consumer devices under the leadership of former Nokia executive Alberto Torres." This particular Ex-Nokia exec was part of the Meego division. The newly founded HP Mobility will focus on consumer tablets; 'business' tablets (presumably running Windows 8) will remain in their current division. With the recent spinning off of the webOS team into Gram this might mean new webOS hardware.

    I left HP a few months ago for greener (less insane) pastures. From my perspective, you are absolutely correct.
